Congratulations, Cristi-es! ^_^

As for the names: I see that you have mostly Hebrew names in your list, with two Spanish names, one Gaelic name and one Germanic name. With those origins in mind, here are some of my own suggestions (which I have tried to make not too conventional - IMHO that can be of help when stuck in a name rut). Not all of them are in the main database - those that are not, can typically be found in the Submitted Names Database (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/). :)

Various names

Argider (perhaps with Archie as a nickname)

Barisan (after Barisan of Ibelin, the father of Balian.)
Bartleby (from the short story written by Herman Melville.)
Caspian
Eldarion (the name of the son of Aragorn and Arwen, from "Lord of the Rings".)
Eragon (from the books written by Christopher Paolini.)
Faramir (from "Lord of the Rings".)
Friso
Leto (after Leto Atreides from Frank Herbert's "Dune". Also see the film "Dune", starring Kyle MacLachlan.)
Milan

Tolliver or Tulliver (from the surname, which outwardly closely resembles Gulliver but is of different origin. One could use the nickname Tully for this name.)
Valiant (after prince Valiant, the hero from the comic strip based on Arthurian legends. I suppose it is more a name to me than it is to you, though, since 'valiant' is not an adjective in my language.)

"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold." ~ Frodo Baggins
